Chapter 53 He is the son-in-law of the Xia family, Xia Qingxing’s husband

Guo Yumei suspected that she had heard wrongly, and looked out of the fence.

She saw a woman in gray standing outside the fence, with a happy face, calling her to go out quickly:

"Yumei, what are you still doing, come out quickly, your daughter Qingxing is back."

This time Guo Yumei heard clearly that the other party was indeed talking about her daughter Qingxing's name.

But there was no joy on her face, full of surprise and panic, and she ran out quickly.

"Where is she? Did she come back alone? Did she carry the suitcase?" Guo Yumei stretched her neck, looked ahead, and asked the woman in gray anxiously as she walked.

"She came with the second son of the He Lu family. I saw that she only carried a bag." The woman in gray said.

Guo Yumei's steps paused after she heard the words "Lu's second son", and her expression relaxed.

"Qinggui is really enjoying life in the city. I couldn't recognize her when I saw her just now. Her face is so tender that you can pinch water out of it." The woman in gray clothes looked envious.

Guo Yumei didn't say anything, but walked with big strides. When she turned a corner, she saw a man and a woman surrounded by a group of children, walking slowly towards them.

The girl was wearing a blue shirt and a long skirt. She probably walked on the mountain road for too long, and her face was flushed and she was very cute.

The boy next to her was tall and very handsome. He was wearing a white shirt and carrying an army green bag.

She didn't dare to recognize her. Was this really her daughter whom she hadn't seen for three years? How could she be completely different from before? It was not

until the girl walked up to her and called her "Mom" softly that she came back to her senses. With tears in her eyes, she nodded vigorously and said,

"Hey, hey."

After she responded, she quickly stretched out her hand, wanting to hold her daughter, but she stopped halfway and finally took it back.

Her rough hands were still covered with mud, and she was afraid of dirtying her daughter's hands.

Xia Qing looked at the woman in front of her. She was wearing a patched coarse cloth shirt. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to hers. Because of long-term labor, her back was a little bent. She was very thin, but her eyes were bright. Seeing that she was about to take her hand back, Xia Qing suddenly raised her hand and held her.

This small action made Guo Yumei's eyes moist again, and she hurriedly said:

"You must be tired, go back to the house and have a rest." Then she looked at the man next to Xia Qingli, and saw that it was indeed the second son of the Lu family. She was surprised and happy:

"Jingchen is here too." She was about to help him get the bag.

"It's okay, it's not heavy." Lu Jingchen said in a calm voice.

When they returned home, Guo Yumei hurriedly took out two high stools from the main room and placed them in the yard, inviting Xia Qingxiang and Lu Jingchen to sit on them. Then she said to the woman in gray clothes,

"Auntie Jinhua, please go and call Qingshu and Qingcao for me to come back soon."

"Okay." The woman agreed and was about to go out. Xia Qingxiang came out of the main room with a cloth bag in her hand. Thinking that she was going back, she hurriedly called her,

"Auntie, wait a moment."

Xia Qingxiang walked over, raised her hand, grabbed a handful of candy from the cloth bag and gave it to her, smiling and saying,

"Auntie, have some candy."

The colorful fruit candies, shining in the sunlight, looked even more colorful. Auntie Jinhua took the candies and happily went to call the two brothers of the Xia family.

The countryside is different from the city. Fruit candies are rare. The children standing by stared at Xia Qingxing's bag with their eyes wide open.

At that time in the countryside, if someone came back from outside, the children would gather around them, hoping to get one or two candies. It was really unheard of to give out a handful of candies like this.

In everyone's eager eyes, Xia Qingxing smiled and grabbed a handful for each child. Seeing a fat auntie standing next to her, she also grabbed a handful even though she didn't know who she was.

The fat matchmaker took it immediately, her face full of shock, her shrewd little eyes kept scanning Xia Qingli and Lu Jingqie.

Knowing that the two must not have eaten anything on the road, Guo Yumei took them in, asked them to rest first, and immediately went to the kitchen. After boiling water, she opened the cabinet where the rice was stored, and saw four eggs on the rice. She did not hesitate and took them all out. After

distributing the candies, Xia Qingli walked into the kitchen and prepared to help Guo Yumei light a fire.

She felt that now that she had occupied the body of the original body, the family of the original body was naturally her own family. She would do everything for the original body, including the responsibilities and filial piety that she should bear. So when she saw Guo Yumei for the first time, she did not feel awkward and called her mother directly.

When Xia Qingxi came in, Guo Yumei was busy making sugar-water eggs. Seeing that she wanted to light the fire for herself, she quickly stopped her and didn't let her move, fearing that her clothes would be dirty.

Xia Qingxi was pushed out and could only stand aside and watch her do it.

She found that although Guo Yumei looked older than her peers, her facial features were well-shaped, with big eyes and a straight nose. Her body inherited 50% of hers.

In fact, when Guo Yumei was young, she was also a beauty in the whole area. Those who came to propose marriage broke down the doorstep. In the end, the person she married was Xia Gensheng from the same village. The two were very well matched in appearance, and the two sons and one daughter they gave birth to also inherited the good looks of the two.

Originally a happy family of five, who could have thought that Xia Gensheng would die while trying to save Lu Lidong who fell into the water, and that the eldest son became crippled due to an illness. Her daughter was in poor health, and her youngest son was still young, so all the burdens fell on her.

Because she always had Xia Gensheng in her heart, she did not remarry, and raised several children by herself. After so many years of hard work under the wind and sun, she no longer had the beauty she had before, and even looked older than her peers.

Seeing her daughter looking at her, Guo Yumei touched her face a little embarrassedly and asked:

"Mom, you have aged a lot, haven't you?"

Xia Qingling looked at this thin and strong woman, and felt some pity and admiration in her heart. She shook her head gently and said:

"You have worked hard these years."

Guo Yumei didn't expect her daughter to say this suddenly, and she couldn't hold back her tears. She raised her hand and touched her face, trying to suppress the tears, but the tears still flowed down.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Mom is happy to see you living well."

Xia Qingling saw her crying and hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back to comfort her. This comfort made Guo Yumei even more emotional. She held Xia Qingling's hand and sobbed and said:

"Mom misses you, and you don't let Mom go to see you."

When her daughter just left, she missed her so much that she was afraid that she would be wronged. She took a car to see her. Seeing that the father and son of the Lu family treated her very well and Lu Lidong did not despise her, she returned happily.

She told everyone that Lu Lidong was a good person and did not forget his roots. She also said that her daughter was lucky and was going to the city to enjoy life. But not long after, the Lu family sent a message to her, asking her to go to the city as soon as possible.

She thought her daughter was sick or injured, so she hurried to go. But when she arrived, she found out that her daughter had actually climbed into Lu's bed.

Her daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible, and she is very timid. How could she do such a thing? But no matter what she asked, her daughter said she didn't know.

She felt like the sky was falling. Fortunately, Lu Baichuan was kind and righteous. He didn't say anything harsh and still let her daughter stay in the city.

Later, when her daughter turned 18, Lu Jingxun reported the matter, and the two of them got their marriage certificate, and she finally felt relieved. In

the past few years, her daughter has been in the city, and she also wanted to visit, but she felt embarrassed to meet the Lu family. Her son Qingshu went there a few times, but he came back and said that Lu Lidong's mother had moved in and didn't like them visiting the Lu family.

The last time her daughter came back three years ago, she also tactfully said that it was not convenient for them to go to the city, so she didn't visit her daughter in the past few years.

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for three years. Seeing her daughter today and listening to her sweet words, she felt wronged and sad, and for a while she couldn't control her emotions.

After hearing what Guo Yumei said, Xia Qingxu was also touched. How could a mother not miss her daughter? She could bear not to see her original body for three years. It was not because she missed her daughter, but because she did not want to cause trouble for her daughter.

"I was wrong before." Xia Qingxu hugged her gently:

"Come whenever you want in the future, and I will come back to see you often."

After hearing this, Guo Yumei's eyes were full of joy. She was happy and asked worriedly: "Is it okay? Your uncle Baichuan's ex-wife won't make things difficult for you, right?"

Xia Qingxu let her go and said firmly:

"Don't worry, that is Lu's family, not her home. She can't make the decision, and she dare not make things difficult for me."

"That's good, that's good." Guo Yumei's moist eyes finally had a smile.

After the mother and daughter finished talking heartfelt words, the sweet soup was ready. They brought it to the table together. They were about to call Lu Jingchen in to eat when they saw a group of people who had gathered in the yard to watch the excitement. They said in unison:

"That doesn't look like the eldest son of the Lu family. He looks like the second son to me."

"Didn't Qingli marry the eldest son of the Lu family? Why did she come back with the second son?"

"It's impossible for the brother-in-law to accompany his sister-in-law back to her parents' home? This is too weird."

"Then which of the two brothers did she marry?"

Amid the discussions of a group of fathers and daughters, Lu Jingchen sat silently, and his face was indeed not a good look.

Guo Yumei's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Lu Jingchen would be upset and take his anger out on his daughter, so she hurried out and said to the group of women who were watching:

"Everyone go back first," then turned to look at Lu Jingchen and said apologetically:

"Jingchen, you must be thirsty, go inside and drink some water first."

Lu Jingchen stood up, with a calm face, and replied in a deep voice:

"Okay, Mom."

His voice was steady and powerful enough for everyone around to hear clearly.
